Hate Speech

A speech that intimidates you, it creates a strong vehement feeling towards each other or try to belittle a person is basically a hate speech. It is not uncommon, in actuality this has increased day by day. You see everywhere either in a bus, college,university or in any event from two people to a big gathering we hear this kind of speech. What it gives you ? Satisfaction or is this the way to hide one's weakness!
We observe in our family where two people are sitting together and talk negative for third person which makes you to dislike the other person even though he/she is not bad with you but the animosity of one person is naturally transferred in you.
Hate is a very strong word and to hate someone means that you have so much grudge inside you which can lead to serious implications. Hatred is a gateway to violence, harassment and discrimination. It is a foundation of serious harmful acts for instance different beliefs of people loathe each other, consequently they start saying bad words to each other and then there is bloodshed or riot break out. Similarly the prejudices against each other give birth to racism.
We can take the example of terrorism which is linked to Islam whatever happens in western countries the blame goes to the Muslims because according to the western media Islam is terrorism and Muslims are terrorist. Due to this an animosity has generated in Non-Muslims against Muslims.
There is lack of  tolerance for each other which is why there is no respect.Now a days the content of certain programs in Pakistan media propagate the hatred amongst the people. There is no productive element and the participants talk immorally or pass derogatory remarks which originate the negativity within oneself .
The only way to curb this hatred is education and debate.The vital role can be played by media, public figures and the schools to open the bigoted minds and promote empathy and solidarity amongst people. As the saying goes--Prevention is better than cure
